"Wyatt Tee Walker, a nationally renowned pastor, civil rights leader, and theologian who served as the chief of staff for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. passed away this week at the age of 89. Rev. Walker began his career of advocacy at the height of the Civil Rights Movement in organizations like the Congress of Racial Equality, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, for which he served as the executive director. In 1967, Rev. Walker was called as the senior pastor at Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem, a position he held for 37 years.

Even up until recent years, Rev. Walker continued to advocate for equality, opportunity, better schools, affordable housing, and a fairer world. His legacy will live on in the generation of activists who were inspired by his absolute dedication to the causes of justice. " NYS Senator Leroy Comrie.
